An amazing combination; a pair of vintage Herman Miller and Eames Side Shells with Alexander Girards’ ‘Mint’ Green fabric on chrome DSR bases, perfect. Available on their own or as a pair; these chairs are ready for any occasion with their distinctive and hard-wearing naugahyde fabric finish adding a burst of colour and style with added comfort combined with the shine of the used DSR bases.

The Eames shells have barely changed through their long life, retaining their modern feel with flare. Throughout their production, however, the introduction of new bases to maintain the versatility of the chairs along with the coveted upholstered range designed with the help of Alexander Girard were introduced to ensure the chairs retained their modern look.

Individual Characteristics

These particular tops are in very good condition for their age, there are no signs of cracks or dents whilst the fabric upholstery has no lifting or tears.

The ‘S’ inside the circle indicates this shell came from Herman Miller’s Summit Prime factory in Michigan.

Investment Details

Eames Shell Chairs vary from 1 to 5 stars for investment. The reasons depend on so many factors but mainly the condition, the rarity of the colour, the originality of the base, the age and of course the factory of origin are some that can affect the value greatly. An excellent example of a lovely combination such as these represent a good investment prospect.
